r/punpatrol — the lore, decoded
First arrest in 2018. The Gulag opened. The ritual outlasted everything.
r/punpatrol arrests puns. For eight years, members perform the ritual: hands in the air, drop the pun, need backup. The format holds. The community's single joke became its lifestyle. Members became the punners they pursued. Law and crime reversed. Nearly 30,000 posts span six eras. The arrest ritual never broke.
